It began with a simple Google search. A Canadian Architectural Design firm was searching for a premier metal works craftsman to design and create three exterior Juliet balconies for a custom home in Ottawa, Canada. It didn’t take them long to land on The Heirloom Companies site and conclude: “this is the company for us.”

As part of their new dream home atop Glassy Mountain, the Markitells had four custom fireplace screens designed to depict the different places they’ve lived over the years: western Pennsylvania, New Orleans, Houston, and Trinidad and Tobago. Take a look to see how their legacy will burn bright for generations to come.

We call it railing #309. That was the actual lot number of the luxury property at The Cliffs at Glassy Mountain for which we designed this circular staircase and custom railing. The home itself was more like a castle than a house. Vast, towering, and exuding an old-world feel, this home was poised like a fortress upon the hilltop. It’s impressive, by anyone’s standards. So when the builder, Jason Bergeron, approached us about designing a custom circular railing, we wanted to capture the uniqueness and majesty of the house itself.

Some projects have no precedent. Such was the case with SEW-EURODRIVE, a German manufacturing company that engineers geared motors, frequency inverters, and other advanced materials for the automotive industry.
